Dubai, September 12, 2024 – Sobha Realty, a leading global luxury real estate developer, announces the

successful execution of a strategic tap into its existing sukuk on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. This latest
tap is an extension of the Developer’s inaugural sukuk issuance of USD 300 million, which took place in July

2023 and currently has an outstanding balance of USD 270 million. This sukuk was listed on both the London
Stock Exchange (LSE) and NASDAQ Dubai.

With the completion of this tap, Sobha Realty’s total sukuk issuance now reaches a benchmark size of USD
500 million. The tap adheres to the existing sukuk terms, preserving the favorable conditions and ensuring

continued stability for the company’s valued investors.
The significant interest in Sobha Realty’s sukuk led to a notable price tightening of 95 basis points,
highlighting strong demand from both regional and international investors. Approximately 25% of the interest

comes from global sources, reflecting strong confidence in Sobha Realty’s financial instruments.
Sobha Realty appointed Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank,

Emirates NBD Capital, Sharjah Islamic Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank as Joint Global Coordinators,
Joint Lead Managers, and Bookrunners for this transaction. Their expertise and commitment have been
instrumental to its success.

The company also acknowledges Clifford Chance and Dentons for their exceptional legal counsel, which
provided critical guidance throughout the transaction. Additionally, Grant Thornton’s role as auditors was

pivotal in ensuring the integrity and transparency of the process.
